I am over the moon to have won an award for a role I loved playing so much. I won best actor in a lead role for Entertaining Mr. Sloane. It was the most challenging and invigorating role I have ever taken on.

I am so delighted Stage Scene LA awards recognised myself and the rest of the cast and production.

I am so delighted to share the wonderful reviews I received in the production of Entertaining Mr. Sloane. It was a truly extraordinary experience, one I will treasure forever. 

Wreaking havoc on the above three is the sensational and utterly appealing Cooper, whose L.A. stage debut as Mr. Sloane provides the young Brit with a terrific showcase for his tiptop acting chops, crackerjack comic timing, and irresistible sex-appeal. Lighting up the stage from his first entrance, Cooper simply couldn’t be better at bringing Orton’s amoral psychopath to seductive, occasionally violent, always captivating life.    StageScene LA--- http://stagescenela.blogspot.com/2011/07/wow-entertaining-mr.html

The cast is superb. Cooper is a sensual treat as Sloane, who is at his most volatile when any obstacle stands in his way. Broadwayworld.com

Emrhys Cooper lacks the experience of his veteran co-stars, but his coy easiness on stage and physical attractiveness makes him the consummate object of their attention. LA WEEKLY

“Entertaining Mr. Sloane” boasts impressive performances from it’s fine cast. Emrhys Cooper shines as Sloane in a sexually charged, nuanced portrayal.  Hollywood Revealed http://www.hollywoodrevealed.com/?p=1310

Emrhys Cooper, as the manipulative Mr. Sloane, is adorable and ironically sincere. Cooper’s acting is bold and terraced and raw. This performance is, apparently, Cooper’s Los Angeles debut, and rather than simply fit into a community of seasoned theatrical pros, Cooper is poised to raise the bar.  The Examiner

THE ANGLO FILES

Emrhys Cooper is perfectly cast for the title role of Mr Sloane and handles the huge task of portraying con artist/ flirt/chancer/bully/opportunist and

murderer spectacularly well. The Angelo Files

Cooper is every inch that man, with his irresistible Jude-Law looks and pan-sexual appeal. Frontiers Magazine

Cooper is physically perfect as the duplicitous gigolo and has fine moments, underplaying the role to contrast with the more broadly etched portraits. Yet we should see the wheels turning in Sloane's demented mind a little more clearly. Cooper is most credible when openly depicting the scoundrel's true colors. BACKSTAGE WEST

"You know that a character such as Mr.Sloan comes to life when an actor truly understands the intricacy and complexity of his mind..in this case Emrhys Cooper not only understood him but lived the character making us all believe he truly was Mr. Sloan beyond the stage. So much so that I still question whether or not he is Mr. Sloan resurrected from 1964 through him. "
